  • About

Among the most versatile of pies and among the most substantial are those made with a savory custard. They may be made with seafood, meats, cheese, poultry or vegetables, and the seasoning may include a pinch or more of almost any spice on the herb shelf.

Savory custards may be served either as a luncheon course, cut into thin wedges for cocktail service, or served as the first course for the evening meal. If done gently, the pies may be reheated without ill effect.
